With new provisions that give the Harper Government direct control over the wages and working conditions of all CBC employees, Bill C-60 is changing how journalists operate. From the Friends of Canadian Broadcasting:
More than 250,000 Canadians who have joined the campaign to Free the CBC stand together with the vast majority of Canadians who believe the CBC must remain independent from governmental control.
Our task ahead is now clear.
We must hold Harper’s Conservatives accountable for their agenda to destroy public broadcasting in Canada.
We do not have a single moment to spare on the road to the next election and the opportunity to make Harper answer for his record.
With your help, starting today, we will deliver our biggest and most intense on-the-ground campaign in defence of CBC’s independence. And this will continue throughout the months leading up to the next general election.
Fight back against attempts to control and muzzle the CBC by signing this petition and tweet with #FreetheCBC.
